One of my other favorite pieces is Gustav Holst's "The Planets." Less contempletive than Serrie's work, Holst's signature work is a rousing celebration on both the mythological and inspirational meaning of our Solar System and a glorious classical masterpiece. Serrie has many other "Space" related works and when you click on the links I posted, you'll be led by Amazon to samples to listen to and listings of other works.

Serrie has other works, "The Stargazer's Journey," and John Serrie's "Planetary Chronicles Volume 1" and "Planetary Chronicles Volume 2". When I put that link regarding John Serrie's "And the Stars Go With You" into my Waterfire post, It was definitely with purpose and not inadvertent.Tom Hannigan and I both love John Serrie's work as does the Christa McAuliffe Planitarium and IMAX and NASA and other "space venues."(check out the article at that link!) Tom & I discussed observing music when we were observing at Stellafane this year. Has anyone got any thoughts on other music that might fit into a program – or just some good stargazing music? And George Huftalen inadvertently brought my attention to John Serrie’s And the Stars Go With You – a delightful synthesized work that puts your mind out in space. Lately I’ve been looking for a couple of pieces that would fit well into a program I’ve been asked to put together.
